What if we could predict how terrorists will behave?

Peter A. de Kock graduated as filmmaker from the Film Academy of the Amsterdam School of the Arts in the 1990’s, and has traveled all over the world as a professional photographer, cameraman, and film-director. After receiving a Master degree in Criminal Investigation, he was invited to introduce the use of creative scenarios to anticipate (terrorist) attacks within the Dutch Royal and Diplomatic Protection Service. The operational results were thought provoking and De Kock was invited to demonstrate his method of operation to prominent members of Dutch Parliament and the Ministry of Security and Justice. Following one of these presentations, he was offered the opportunity to pursue the use of scenarios to anticipate crime, as an external Ph.D. student at Tilburg University.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
